Nga Waka Three Paddles Pinot Noir 2024
Great buying for a Martinborough Pinot Noir with a Gold Medal.
"Exhibits typical regional characters of red berries and cherries mixed with spicy and earthy notes. Dry, full bodied style. The texture of the wine is soft with supple tannins and carries flavours of red fruits and spice through the palate to a soft, persistent finish.
De-stemmed only. Total maceration time 21-24 days. Malolactic fermentation in barrel, tight-grain French oak barriques (22% new). Total time in barrel -12 months. Light fining and filtered." Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"It's beautifully fruited and inviting on the nose, showing dark plum, cherry, olive, game, and toasted nut aromas. The palate delivers succulent fruit flavours with supple texture and polished tannins, making it harmonious and structured with a persistent, satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2030." 5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2025 (2024 Vintage)
